The

13. If you are a book lover, don't miss this chance to fill up a grocery
bag of great books at the library's book basement sale that includes fiction,
non-fiction, hard cover and soft cover books.
There
are over 10,000 books available on just about every topic imaginable and for
every age.
The
quality of the books is outstanding and are being offered at $5 a bag -- a
regular sized grocery bag that is. The library is asking you to be
"green" and to BYOB --- bring your own bag! In addition to the
bag of books sale, the library is also offering a sale of DVDs, music CDs,
books on CDs as well as books that are deemed "special" that will are
priced at $5 and up. All the "special" books are priced at 1/3
